The Republic of Bekhyria is a very large, genial nation, notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 424 million Bekhyrians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trapizon. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Bekhyrian economy, worth 24.2 trillion Asprons a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,978 Asprons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime is totally unknown. Bekhyria's national animal is the Caucasian Black Grouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bekhyria is ranked 285,184^th in the world and 2^nd in Lumera for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
